“Secondly, it’s not like I take things simply to pocket them. Instead, I pluck items from the cart I actually use during my stay.” – from the infamous “Housekeeping Cart” post. Kristi also used extra towels–note the word “used.”

Kristi did not take extra lotion, shampoo or conditioner to take home, nor did she bring any towels home. The hotel manager also noted that such items would be given out upon request. I think he was wrong to make reference to “stealing” given that she wasn’t leaving the hotel with a suitcase full of items for use after she arrived home.

probably doing this to be “green” and to save the “green” too (how appropriate for St. Patrick’s day eve!)…..but anyone else get a little skeeved out with the idea of what might end up in an easy to open dispenser rather than a sealed bottle for shampoo and soap?

Gotta agree with 7 and 9! We recently took our annual trip to Disney and I had to “self serve” at the Housekeeping Cart” as all of the housekeepers were busy cleaning other rooms and we had run out of soap and shampoo. I figured I wouldn’t bother them and would get the items myself. I wasn’t taking anything to take home, just to be used during the length of my stay.

Come on aren’t you all being a little too anal retentive about Kristi!
She paid for her stay, and used the products while she was at the hotel. I suggested the envoirment friendly wall products while i filled out a survey on keeping green years ago.

Wow. I guess I’m going to hotel jail. Over the weekend we ate at the restaurant attached to our hotel and as we were leaving with our dessert to go, I realized we had no silverware in the room and pocketed our dinner forks. (I realize I could have asked for plastic silverware or asked at the front desk of the hotel but that frankly seemed like too much work after 3 drinks when I just wanted to call home and make sure the baby had survived his first bedtime without his parents.) I left the forks in the hotel room with the other cups and such. I also took a bar of soap that I didn’t use while I was there. I didn’t realize I was such a thieving rebel…
